Hands down the best catering service! Our wedding had the best wedding food I've every had! We opted for the chorizo and cheese empanadas and bacon wrapped chicken for our appetizer and the poblano chicken for our main entree and it was all so delicious! Our guests raved about all of the food! Friends even sent me pictures of their clean plates because the food was THAT good! They are also the nicest people to work with! 10/10 would recommend !

PG Special Events Catering provided outstanding hors d'oeuvres, food, presentation, and service for my daughter’s wedding 3/23/2024. Jesse, his wife Lidia, and his mother Patricia ...
went above and beyond to make the event a dream come true. From the very beginning, Jesse listened to our needs and worked diligently within our budget to curate the most amazing spread.
The hors d'oeuvres were exquisite, each bite a perfect blend of flavors that delighted our guests. The main courses were equally impressive, with beautifully presented dishes that tasted as good as they looked. The presentation of the food was nothing short of artful, adding an extra layer of elegance to the reception.
Their service was impeccable, with every member of their team displaying professionalism and warmth. Jesse, Lidia, and Patricia’s personal involvement made a significant difference, ensuring that every detail was perfect. Their dedication and attention to detail were truly remarkable, making the catering a highlight of the wedding. We are immensely grateful for their hard work and would highly recommend PG Special Events Catering to anyone looking for exceptional service and delicious food for their special occasion.

walked us through every step, giving us recommendations and were always available to answer questions. We were blown away by their tasting menu and without hesitation, chose them for our wedding. They did an absolutely amazing job with our appetizers (highly recommended caprese skewer and chorizo & Oaxaca cheese empanadas) and entrees, all the guests were blown away by the food. My husband and I made sure to finish every last bite! In addition, Lidia even placed strawberries on our champagne flutes for an added touch. All the servers were fantastic and on top of things. Lidia and Jesse truly care about their customers, they are gems. We hope to use them in the future for parties and other events!

d to my request for a quote quickly. During the tasting and while we were finalizing our order, Lidia offered helpful suggestions that could help our budget. They were even incredibly flexible when a last-minute dietary change arose for one of our guests. They were happy to adjust the menu to ensure my grandpa had a delicious meal!
The food itself was absolutely delicious! The empanadas, strawberry feta salad, salmon and almond panko crusted chicken were just some of the crowd pleasers!
But what truly made the difference was Jesse & Lidia's genuine care and attention to detail. Lidia took the time to understand the importance of this event and ensured everything ran smoothly during set up.
I highly recommend PG Special Events to anyone looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond to make your event special!!

Food was a priority for our wedding and Jesse and Lidia out did themselves, delivering food guests are still talking about TWO MONTHS later, and premier service.

s of food and drinks they can supply for her wedding. We booked with them right away and we were so happy with their kind service and wonderful food. The food presentation was spectacular, we had plated meals for 150 guests and they got everyone served in under 10 minutes. It was quick, efficient, and smooth.
The food quality was off the charts. The taste was fantastic!!!
People at our table wanted seconds, and there was other folks literally licking their plates. Biggest compliment to the quality and taste of the food.
Jesse and Lidia are top professional yet caring owners. While Jesse was busy with the food preparations, Lidia led the servers on the floor. She made sure the bride and groom as well as the parents received their food first. She was so sweet she made sure that the bride, groom and the mother of the bride got a special slice of cake with a juicy strawberry in it. That extra kindness and gesture really made them feel special on that day.
